QUETTA, July 27: A meeting of the provincial council of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League will be held in the first week of August to discuss ‘coming local body elections’ in Balochistan.

This was decided in a PML meeting held here on Wednesday which was presided over by its Provincial General Secretary Jaffar Khan Mandokhel and attended by Provincial Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Mir Abdul Rehman Jamali, MPA Robina Irfan and office-bearers of the party.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr Mandokhel said that the council meeting would find out means and ways to remove difficulties being faced by the party in the province in connection with the elections. He called on the party’s provincial leadership to make joint efforts and devise a strategy to take the party out of the situation.

He said that the PML provincial parliamentary group was making efforts to restore the status of the party as senior coalition partner in the province and dispelled the impression that they wanted a change in the provincial government.

He said that the government had begun positively responding to the demands of the parliamentary group and the annual development programme would be revised soon for making it acceptable to all coalition partners and members of the opposition parties.
